The default DVD player on ubuntu 9.04 (Dragon Player) does not have very good playback in my opinion. Is there a better DVD player out there for Linux. I'm looking for better resolution and a menu with pause, stop, play, ff and rewind... ect.

I've been pretty happy with VLC, so I can second that recommendation.

Basically these are the steps:
1. In your konsole type2. Enter your root password when asked.Code:kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
3. Add these lines to the end of the 'sources.list' file4. Save the file but don't close.deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu jaunty main
5. Back to konsole, start a new tab/session. Typeto get the signing keyCode:sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D
6. Typeand then --Code:sudo apt-get update
a. If you have previous vlcb. If you haven't installed vlc yetCode:sudo apt-get upgrade
7. After upgrading / installing vlc, go back to kate where sources.list is still open. There either u delete the last line or comment it out by typing "#" (without quotes) at the beginning of the last line. Then save the file and quit.Code:sudo apt-get install vlc
This should do the job. Hope it helps.

Actually, I would not comment out the repository, in case there are updates to vlc.Comment

Re: Best DVD playback?
That is true. But I can't recommend newbies to keep the unofficial repos open. I feel that is risky.

Re: Best DVD playback?
I wouldn't think a VLC repository can do much harm :PComment
